The goal of the effort is to adopt 150 seniors and veterans to receive gifts for the holidays. The Nov. 1 launch will take place at the TCCC offices located at 2855 Ocean Drive, Suite D above the Polo Grill. A giving tree has been donated by Jody Harvey and Gene Adkinson of The Adkinson Foundation for the event.

TCCC is teaming up with Next Generation comprised of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans which is a division of the Veteran’s Council of Indian River County.

Specialist Patrick Williamson of the Indiana Army National Guard, 2005 Iraq war veteran and member of Next Generation and Col. Martin “Marty” J. Zickert, USAF, (ret.) will assist in delivering the gifts to senior veterans and senior home health care recipients.

Radio host Hamp Elliot of OceanFM will hold a live radio remote broadcast on Dec. 10 from 1-3 p.m. at the TCCC offices.
